Mr. Sourdough

He's alive. He is living in my room. I feed him everyday.

Yep I am coexisting with Mr. Sourdough and I would have uploaded a picture if I was on my computer.... He's fat, has a bubbly personality and consists partly of alcohol (fermented yeast). He is single and totally the bread winner type so ladies, he's a keeper. I'll introduce you two if you want.

My first attempt at producing a sourdough baby went pretty good. It takes soo long for them to come to term and I was impatient so the result wasn't quite the same. I want to try again tomorrow and do an overnight cool rise... That's supposed to improve the flavor. I also want to make some cinnamon rolls so Mr. Sourdough will be a busy boy.

I've read that if you treat your Mr. Sourdough starter right and feed him correctly he can last for years and century's and maybe even decades! What a crazy thought. Someday I'll pass on Mr. Sourdough to my great-grandchildren and tell them how to care for him, my kitchen companion. They will have great respect for Mr. Sourdough because he kept bread on the table for so many years.

... That is if I don't kill him accidentally like I did to his brother. Oops.
